We hear so much about Mental Illness on a regular basis. That is one of those terms that is frequently thrown around. Actually, I don't care for the term at all. Who wants to be told they have a Mental Illness? I doubt many do.

One of the things that really gets me is when a person spends several minutes telling me why he or she cannot do something. Think about it...how many people do you know who spend so much of their time and energy telling you why they can't do something? I bet you can think of a few.

You are supposed to get a yearly physical, right? What about a yearly mental? :) How many people check their mental health on a yearly basis--even if there does not seem to be a problem? Few people actually do this. However, I can think of at least one of my friends that does something like this.
